Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the ...

Arteries can narrow with fatty buildup. Blood struggles to move. Oxygen drops. A heart attack can follow, and it remains the world’s top killer. Researchers at the University of California San Diego ...

Salk scientists uncover a key neural circuit in mice that gives pain its emotional punch, opening new doors for treating fibromyalgia, migraine, and PTSD LA JOLLA (July 9, 2025)—Pain isn’t just a ...

Researchers have identified that a transient inflammatory pain causes mitochondrial and redox changes in sensory neurons that persist beyond pain resolution. These changes appear to predispose to a ...

A newly discovered collection of neurons suggests the brain and heart communicate to trigger a neuroimmune response after a ...

In mice, blocking heart-to-brain signals improved healing after a heart attack, hinting at new targets for cardiac therapy.

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ability ensures that the body receives the nutrients it needs to perform daily ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMS), i.e., laminin-1 or N-cadhedrin Adhesion and attractant Allow cells to grow along the surfaces of other cells (such as using pioneering axons for subsequent axons) ...
